The drier should have its operating voltage range marked on it. A heating element designed for 240 v would use 25% less electric power and produce 25% less heat when run on 208 v. So it would still dry clothes but it would take longer. If it has a motor to rotate it, whether the motor would operate correctly on 208 v is another matter.
